My First Commissioned Quilt

I worried and sweated and cursed over this quilt, making it as perfect as I possibly could. This was so hard; I don't know how people sell their quilts all the time! Kudos to those of you who do!

The pattern is Sparkling Cider, by All Washed Up. I used the Quilt in a Day Flying Geese Ruler. The fabrics were all chosen from my stash by the recipient--it's a mix of Flea Market Fancy, Pearl Bracelet, Constellations (on the back,) and a few others. I used all cotton fabrics and cotton batting. It measures about 48" x 48."

Thanks Karen! It's super easy as far as patterns go. I've made it as a table runner too. I have a stack of Anna Maria Horner's Innocent Crush and some charcoal kona cotton for a bigger version for myself!
